art art art: Fabo

"Buhito"
Recently, I came across the beautiful and charming work of Francisco Antonio Benitez Osorio, aka Fabo. "Un pinguino"

It was the birds that first caught my eye.

"A little rest"

Then the creatures...
"Una caida sobria"

Then the composers!

Animation: I KNEW it


I was talking to someone about how DIsney REALLY really should put out another princess story. I was POSITIVE the next feature was going to be Glen Keane's Did-he-really-agree-to-3-D "Rapunzel", however I was mistaken. Disney is releasing "The Frog Princess. In addition to this new princess fairytale/merchandise push, Disney will also introduce their first black/african-american princess.


(No, neither Jasmine or Nala counted!!!)


Those "Disney" eyes....

It's set in New Orleans and her name is Princess Maddy. Of course, this is all pre-production. Who knows what final results will be.


I'm sure that this film will meet its audience, ESPECIALLY with guru John Lasseter at the reins and racial-based press. Of course, people will talk about it and I'm sure it will be clever, funny, enchanting, empowering, whatever, etc.... anyhow, we'll see when we see it.

Of course, my perverse side can't help but wonder what the prince will look like (if there is one)...

Thank you to my beloved M for forwarding....kisses beebee.
